No such thing as too much Deadpool!

There's a Deadpool limited series coming up in the spring.

Obviously we'll be getting it.

Hopefully it'll be something the ten-year-old can read as well.

See, Deadpool isn't really a kid-friendly character in that he's a killer. He kills people, and most of the time it's treated pretty casually.

However, he's also a character that kids are going to be drawn toward--mainly because he's funny (my kids gained their fondness for him from the Marvel Ultimate Alliance videogame), but in some ways he also seems to have a child-like persona, impulsive and immature. He's relatable.

So I make a point of being the first to read Deadpool every month. Before passing it on to the kids.

Because they do love Deadpool.
